Description of the Papers
Series I, DEPARTMENTAL SUBJECT-CORRESPONDENCE FILES 1940-1960, were organized and maintained by the Department of Public Health beginning approximately with Ira Hiscock"s chairmanship in 1945 and ending when the Department was reorganized as the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health in 1960-1961. The records are organized chronologically by fiscal year, beginning with the incomplete records of July 1, 1946-June 30, 1947.
Series II, CURRICULUM AND STUDENT DATA 1938-1960, contains material relating to the Department"s course offerings and students. The sections of the series containing student files are restricted under the 75 year policy governing access to student records.

Series III, SURVEYS 1924-1958, contains correspondence, data and findings from approximately 30 health care surveys conducted by students and faculty of the Department of Public Health. The information contained in this series is incomplete for most of the communities, but there is extensive material for several of the surveys: Bristol, Connecticut; Eastern Windham County, Connecticut; Hartford, Connecticut; and St. Louis, Missouri. The surveys are arranged alphabetically by city and alphabetically by subject within a given city.
